The costs of moving to Switzerland
The difference in costs depends on your preference for direct transport or groupage transport. With direct transport, the lorry will leave for Switzerland immediately, or within a few days, and will then appear in front of your new home. With groupage transport your shipment will be transported together with other shipments, the costs are therefore lower, but your goods will also remain in the warehouse until there is sufficient volume to fill the lorry.
